South Africa vs Tunisia prediction 24.01.2024

• Competition: Africa Cup of Nations
• Date: Thursday, 24th January 2024
• Kickoff: 17:00 UK/18:00 CET
• Venue: Amadou Gon Coulibaly Stadium (Korhogo)

Group E’s teams will have a crucial day on Thursday, as they all have the potential to advance to the next stage. Currently, Mali is leading with four points, trailed by South Africa and Namibia with three points each. Tunisia is last with a single point, however, a victory in their next match could still propel them forward.

South Africa kicked off the continental championship with a 2-0 defeat to Mali but bounced back with a 4-0 victory over Namibia in the second round. They took control from the outset in the last match, establishing a 3-0 lead by halftime. This significant win will undoubtedly boost their confidence ahead of their match against Tunisia.

Tunisia let down their supporters in the initial round with a 1-0 loss to Namibia. However, Jalel Kadri’s squad showed improvement in the preceding match, ending in a 1-1 draw against Mali. Although the opposition performed better in that game, with Kadri’s team only managing 39% ball possession and five goal attempts, Tunisia still secured a crucial point.

South Africa vs Tunisia pick: Under 2.5 goals

South Africa managed to score four goals against Namibia, which are the only goals they’ve netted in their last four matches. Meanwhile, Tunisia has only been able to score four goals in their past five games. Therefore, a bet of under 2.5 goals seems to be the most secure for this matchup.
